Cleverly converted, this bright and beautiful, Grade II listed one-bedroom flat has pride of place on the first floor of a glorious Regency townhouse on Lansdowne Place.

With an air of grandeur and an undoubtable architectural beauty, these properties sit in one of the most highly favoured conservation areas in the city; sweeping down the hill towards the sea.

Soaring ceilings, ornate plasterwork and incredible proportions are plentiful, and facing west, the main reception room is filled with natural light.

It has been renovated and styled by those with a clear eye for interiors, sympathetically blending the original Regency features with contemporary fixtures and fittings.

Floor to ceiling windows open to Juliet balconies with sea views, allowing the cool coastal air to flow through the building during the warmer weather.

Sitting in such a favoured central location; with the beach, two commuter stations, and the city centre so close by, it would suit commuters, investors and professionals looking to live the quintessential Brighton & Hove lifestyle by the sea.

Why you’ll like it:

Effortlessly elegant, the Regency homes of Brunswick Town have become integral to Brighton & Hove’s unique identity as a cosmopolitan city of style and taste. They were the ‘brainchild’ of eminent architect, Charles Busby, who hoped to replicate the distinguished Nash developments in London. The magnolia curved facades with ornate balconies and columns are certainly impressive, and while most have since been converted into luxury apartments; they continue to attract people to the area.

Raised up on the first floor, this one-bedroom apartment enjoys the highest ceilings and tallest windows within the building, as this floor was originally reserved for entertaining when they were one dwelling. The sense of space and light is magnificent, and this apartment maximises both. You enter into the beautiful living room where gleaming wooden floors in honeyed tones complement the calico walls while the woodwork has been picked out in white. All three full-height windows open to cast iron Juliet balconies which have space for potted plants and herbs which only improve the already attractive backdrop, looking out to the Regency architecture opposite. Taking centre stage is the original fireplace with a classical surround and metro brick tiles in turquoise add a splash of colour.

Running flush along the rear wall, the modern kitchen units do not dominate the space, but create a sociable and light area for preparing food. It has been efficiently designed with an integrated slim-line dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, oven and induction hob, so you can move straight in or let it out immediately with ease. There is ample space for comfortable sofas and for formal dining within the bay – perfect for dinner parties and gatherings.

Peacefully positioned at the rear of the building is the charming double bedroom which shares the same restful décor as the living room but has a delightful stained-glass window which filters the light through its colourful panes. There is space for a king-size bed and several pieces of bedroom furniture without compromising on floor space, and the bathroom is conveniently en-suite with a contemporary shower, WC, basin and a heated rail for your towels.
